People speak of “Grandmother Ayahuasca” as a teacher connected to the plant. Absinthe users spoke of the “Green Fairy” who was especially inspiring to artists and poets. PhD mycologist Paul Stamets has asserted that mushrooms have a consciousness and they are a spiritual teacher. We are people of the Northern Woodlands (mushroom habitat), these mushrooms were highly prevalent in all of our ethno-spiritual cultural art, even in our holiday cards up until the paradigm shift of 1945. Never let someone push you into trying something that you don’t feel called to try. But, likewise, be VERY suspicious of anyone claiming to be a voice for indigenous European revival who endorses an Abrahamic view of entheogens. It’s almost certain that these mushrooms would have been one ingredient in the Aryan sacred drink called Soma. They’ve been an amazing teacher for me. What guides you might be different. Just know that shamanic spiritual guides are there for you, too. Your intuition will bring you to them if you want them.
This lovely townhall in Holland is now a happy place. People marry there and when the weather is nice people eat and drink on the terraces of the restaurants there. Long forgotten seem the days of witchhunting in the 16th century. Although witchhunting was never as big in Holland as in other North(Western)-European countries there was witchhunting here too. The attic of this townhall was used to imprison women who were suspects of witchcraft. They were tortured and burned alive in front of the townhall. Fortunately these days are long gone! I always think about these women when i see this townhall and value my own freedom. There is nothing better than freedom!

After I did my mushroom post, I started making dinner. This is difficult to describe for those who haven’t been following the details, but I’ve been interested in folk symbols in indigenous European embroidery. Something has been pulling me toward it and telling me it’s important. It’s preserved in Slavic regions but it was once pan-European, and I’m being pulled to recover it. I sliced into these Brussels Sprouts and immediately noticed the shape inside looked like Slavic Mother Earth goddess Makosh. So I looked for an image to show my fiancé and was shocked when I couldn’t find the one I was looking for but the one I found was MORE similar! It just seems to me that I’m being pulled ever closer to the divine in the Earth and nature and therein lies the real TRUTH of our indigenous religion. It’s not dogma. It’s eternal renewal of life 🌱
